Earlier this week, the announcement was made that Wawa, a popular convenience and gas station chain throughout the Eastern United States, would soon be in development for the latest in several planned its Georgia-based locations.

On Tuesday, the city council of Pooler, Georgia, a neighboring city of Savannah, approved plans to begin a site plan for the company’s Peach State debut.

Similar to its competitor Buc-ees, which broke ground earlier in the year for its third and largest Georgia location in Brunswick, Wawa has grown quite popular among its dedicated customers for its distinctive food options.
